Securing a sustainable future
Achieving a sustainable energy future
Energy is the most indispensable industry on Earth, and yet the competing perspectives around energy production, lower carbon energy, energy efficiency and diversification of energy sources are fragmented, divergent and polarising.
The energy value chain must come together to bring about a radical, bold new approach to energy systems.
Whilst the 2021 edition of the Citizens Energy Congress ran virtually and played a crucial role in connecting views on energy related questions, the 2022 edition will return in-person, to continue the dialogue and enable the many stakeholders to develop the new strategies, pursue greater collaboration and accelerate the innovations necessary for the energy industry to evolve and advance in ways that society deems acceptable and sustainable.
